two reasons as per me
1.greater stabilization of conjugate anion relative to the parent acid?
2.more polarization of C-H bond?
please help asap
more acidic-- i]4 nitro benzoic acid,or ii] 3,5 dinitro benzoic acid?
i need d reason
ans ii>1

the reason is that there is interference in the -O-C=O <--> O=C-O- resonance in case of para nitro derivative due to resonance thru benzene ring!
thus, the di(meta)nitro derivative is stabler conjugate base 100% -O-C=O <--> O=C-O- resonance
plus stabilisation wid I effect!(very minute tho)
